5 Frequently asked Questions
Some things just cannot be covered in the standard documentation.
Unfortunately the documentation is the last place the average user looks for a
solution to their problems. Here you can find answers to some FAQ's or
Frequently asked Questions about NeroLINUX
5.1 Audio CDs created with NeroLINUX are playing
fine on my computer but are not recognized by
my stereo
Make sure you have toggled the 'Finalize CD' check box in NeroLINUX's
recording options pane while creating your CD. Scan NeroLINUX's recording
terminal for eventual error messages while finalizing your disc.
If none of the above applies, you are probably using a very old CD-Player that
cannot handle CD-R/RW discs. Unfortunately the only solution to this problem is
to upgrade your CD-Player. Some DVD-Players are not capable of handling CD-
R/RW media while they are capable of playing regular audio CDs. This is just one
of the many things you should take care of when buying a DVD-Player.
Finally, some very bad quality blank CD-Rs cannot be read by some audio CD-
Players. This is because the organic layer used for recording you music is very
thin on those CD-Rs and your CD-Player's laser might look straight through it.
Using a lower recording speed might sometimes solve this issue.
5.2 When writing audio files, I get a lot of silence at
the end of the track or I get tracks that consist of
nothing but silence
This generally means that the audio file you tried to record was corrupt in some
way. Although mpg123 tries hard to play defective MP3s, it will sometimes get
out of sync and stop playing entirely.
Please also check whether your distribution links from mpg123 to mpg321, which
is a free replacement of mpg123. mpg321, is currently not as stable as mpg123
and will most of the time make NeroLINUX crash.
